Just bought a new Android phone today, and I'm looking to make sure I get the most out of my phone when it comes to making sure that my data is protected. What applications do you use and recommend to cover your phone in tin foil.
just encrypt it with a password and dont be stupid
posting bluray version
Install CM, don't flash gapps, get F-droid, get init.d support, install security enhancing init.d scripts (xda-developers will help you), install firewall (AF-Wall+ is probably the best). After all you can also encrypt it. Would be great if you change the encryption password (you can find apps for that on F-droid). Yeah, and even just CM is pretty bloated. So there's a lot of stuff you could uninstall, which I recommend.
Anyone know any sites that I can convert a specific part of a Youtube video to MP3? One which isn't clipconverter.cc since when I try it on there it doesn't work.
>>53702113
> any sites
Just use youtube-dl and ffmpeg like any sane person.
install gentoo + ffmpeg + yt-download
JDownloader and Audacity
I'm probably going to get flamed for asking this, but what are some good tech/security/programming related twitter accounts to follow?

>GMAIL WILL NOW WARN YOU IF YOU’RE BEING TARGETED BY THE GOVERNMENT
>Google is also continuing the fight against state-sponsored attacks, showing a full-page warning when it thinks you’re being targeted by a government-backed hacker. Google does mention in a blog post that less than 0.1 percent of Gmail users will be receiving this warning, however, it highlights the importance of the warnings because of the fact that the people getting them are...

Thanks, moot. <3
Why do we use sudo and not group permissions for admin tasks?
laziness. install hardened gentoo.
>>53701820
because on a typical pc that would just mean putting the user in all the permission groups; like sudo but without the password
You don't want those permissions all the time
What do you Wincucks think about the new Explorer UWP App that will replace your regular explorer in the next major update?

Why do we need a change?
I saw a similar thread on /pol/ (inb4) and thought this would be fun
What were you like before you came to /g/, and what are you like now?
I'll start:
>Before /g/
Shitty Chromebook
Average CS student
I used Linux Mint Debian edition
Didn't like programming that much, it just seemed like a decent job
Thought programmers were all boring normies
Didn't know about muh freedoms
>After /g/
Slightly less shitty Chromebook
Appalling CS student
Debian stable after failing Arch install and trying Ubuntu
I constantly think of useful programming projects, I like computer science theory enough to study it in my free time
I think all programmers are either wizards or nu-male betas
I have acquired an appreciation for autism
Everything I write that wouldn't make money is GPL
I don't come here as much I used to but this was the first board I thought of after that /pol/ thread
>Before /g/
Macbook Air (OSX)
iPhone 4S
iPad
Used iCloud, iTunes, etc
Reddit, Twitter, and Facebook normie
Used proprietary formats like a chump
Learning Ruby and Ruby on Rails
>After /g/
Running Arch on a ThinkCentre M700
Triple monitor setup
Mechanical keyboard
Rice my computer every day
Prepaid flip phone
Use only free formats for media
No social networking accounts
Almost solely live in the terminal
Program exclusively in Python and C++
>before /g/
Windows-loving /v/tard
Unsure what I wanted to do with my life
>after /g/
Mac-user and appreciator of fine *NIX operating systems.
Realised I didn't want to be a neckbeard forever
Stole a version of After Effects
9 years later now comfy working for a studio doing motion graphics
So thanks guys, I guess
>>53702052
I'm pretty sure that at least 90% of /g/ays that buy Macs only do so because /g/ shits on Apple and they want to be contrarian
>muh freedoms
>muh games
Let's settle this: which of the two is more toxic?
>toxic
Choke yourself
The most toxic is linux gamers, they have the "vegan" extremest mindset and verbal outbursts mixed with proprietary gaming manchild-ness.
>"toxic"
literally "problematic". end yourself, jew
Why did they use a portamento of 'Scum' & 'Scrotum' for this hellacious form of corporate ball bustery??
Convince me their intentions were evil from the get-go.This is the exact kind of shit that comes from the endless meetings by a bunch of finger-in-the-ass, human resource types.
Fuck off

KEK, lemme guess... You're a scrum-master.

What email name do you use? Especially for businesses?
I feel like using my name but my last name kind of sounds weird.
My university address for business. Use your last name like an adult.
So i fell for the biggest meme
I just got my thinkpad x1 carbon (skylake)
Did i fuck up?
>>53701157
the meme is buying a used one and upgrading it yourself while installing gentoo on it
>buying a new Lenovo ThinkPad
>wew
>not a x220 or a t420
how you gonna properly meme on that machine?
>>53701157
Can you take some pictures of the Hong area? It looks so weird. Also, why not the T460s if you wanted a Skylake model?
What is the most cost effective desktop speakers I can buy right now, preferably on websites like Amazon? I'm looking at pic related.

He meant exactly what he was saying.

>I am an alcoholic and a drug addict
That shouldn't surprise anyone.
So my s7 just broke and is being sent off for repair, they're expecting to have it for a month and I'm forced to use my old iPhone 5. Don't get me wrong I don't really mind apple phones but my s7 allowed a lot more customisation in terms of wallpapers and stuff. Does anyone know a way I could do that with an iPhone 5
>perhaps something like the image here?
>US Teenagers Threads
How the fuck did you manage to break an S7 already?
>>53700118
It came faulty
